James Gates Percival
James Gates Percival (1795 - 1854) was an American poet, born at Berlin, Connecticut.
He was a precocious child, and a morbid and impractical, though versatile man, with a facility in writing verse on all manner of subjects and in nearly every known metre. His sentimentalism appealed to a wide circle, but his was one of the tapers which were extinguished by James Lowell. He had also a reputation as a geologist. His poetic works include Prometheus and The Dream of a Day (1843).
